Construction execs: Technology can help close performance gap

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. construction executives say the industry is not functioning at a rate of productivity suitable for infrastructure projects, according to a report from KPMG. Almost all, 92%, believe technology will change business and help amend that productivity gap. Executives indicate that integrated project management information systems (68%), BIM (53%) and use of 'advanced data analytics' (48%), will deliver the greatest return on investment.
